We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes description: "Are we the road to your future? We are currently searching for an experienced Transportation Project Engineer to support our Gulf Region located in Alabama, Mississippi, and Tennessee." That's about the role. Then "What You’ll Be Doing" list. Then "What You Need To Have" list. Then "Bonus Points If You Have" list. Then "Why Volkert?" paragraph. Then "Key Benefits" list. Then quote from CEO. Then maybe other metadata like location etc. We must not repeat job title as heading. Use for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to map content to appropriate headings.
We have:
- About the role: description of position, location, etc.
- Responsibilities: "What You’ll Be Doing" bullet list.
- Requirements: "What You Need To Have" bullet list (minimum qualifications). Could also include Qualifications? The spec says we can use Qualifications heading if appropriate. We have both Requirements and Qualifications maybe overlapping. We could combine: Requirements heading for mandatory qualifications, Qualifications heading for preferred? But spec says prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could have About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (including both mandatory and preferred?), Benefits. Also maybe Skills? But we have skills listed within requirements. Could put Skills under Requirements. But we have a separate Skills heading possible. However we should avoid thin sections. Let's decide: Use About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (covers education, experience, license, skills, etc.), Benefits (Key Benefits). Also maybe "Why Volkert?" could be About the company but not required heading; we could incorporate into About the role or maybe a separate section like "About Volkert". But spec only allows those headings; we could put that under About the role or maybe under Benefits? Better to include under About the role as a paragraph about company. However we already have About the role for position description; we could add a paragraph about Volkert there.
Pay and Schedule: not provided, so omit.
Thus output:
